HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Chlorine is not a macronutrient.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nutrients supplied in large quantities are called macronutrients. Macronutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulphur. Nutrients supplied in small quantities are called micronutrients. Micronutrients are iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper, molybdenum, and chlorine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Humans require three macronutrients: carbohydrates (sugar), lipids (fats), and proteins. Chlorine isn’t a macronutrient, so it’s not one of these options. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sulphur (S), magnesium (Mg), and sodium (Na) are some of the other macronutrients (Na).

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnesium is not a micronutrient.

Detailed explanation-5: -Macronutrients are the nutrients we need in larger quantities that provide us with energy: in other words, fat, protein and carbohydrate. Micronutrients are mostly vitamins and minerals, and are equally important but consumed in very small amounts.
